Lol at all the antivax groupies on here simping over their lord and saviour Djokovic, thinking he gives a rat’s ass about them
I was vaxxed, but I applaud his stance to big government and big pharma. It used to be primarily the left that was anti-pharma, including vaccines. Then they told everyone to “trust the science”. Well, turns out untested science is often incorrect. I’m not registered to either major party as they both have serious flaws.
As far as his diet, it looks pretty solid for longevity. If we are talking weight, I doubt he would gain any weight if he went to burgers and pizza as long as his training is at this high of a level.
100% - we are basically one and the same on everything you wrote here.
Zero chance he is not being enhanced by pharmaceuticals. Remember, it's not always about cadence...
I remember when Djokovic and Murray were both around 23, both a long way behind Fed and Nadal, and competing with each other more than against them. Nobody thought they would ever bridge the gap, with maybe Murray winning a Wimbledon or two, and Djokovic a couple of Australian Opens. Then suddenly Djokovic went into a different stratosphere, due to his 'gluten free diet'.

Yeah, 2011. Djokovic was clearly very good - he’d even won the 2008 Australian Open, but that was when Federer had mono and could barely move. Murray was actually seen as the more talented player around that time.
Then 2011, his age 24 season, came around and Djokovic won the Aussie, lost to Fed in the French Open, won Wimbledon, then won the US (albeit via a Federer choke in the SF), all off the back of going gluten free. He’s excelled since, aside from 2017-2018 when he fell off hard for 18 months, following Murray’s ridiculous run at the end of 2016 taking the number 1 spot from him.
I do think Djokovic has massively benefited from some good fortune / timing alongside his physical conditioning, but that’s a different discussion entirely.
